Hi,

haskell differs from other languages that it's easy to write parallel
programs.
So have there been any thoughts about making the ghc compiler compile
modules in parallel utilizing multiple cpus yet?

Of course you can use Makefiles for that or maybe cabal can be taught to
do this. But restarting ghc multiple times wastes resources..

Sincerly
